Keeping track of some blooming times of native plants (phenology) .

Native plants of Metchosin April 28
Month: April 2015
Water line to upper field trees and a post-pounder solution.
I extended the water line in the upper field so that it provides two closer outlets for watering fruit, pine nuts and other trees ( fewer hoses to drag around)
Vegetation in April at Tower Point
I made a trip over to Tower Point today just less than a kilometre north of the farm and took a few pictures of the vegetation along the shoreline. Thought it would be useful for the Phenology topic
Lessons learned!
That’s right … not a good idea to try to
mow the grass when it’s raining…
Phenology Native Plants in bloom in early April, 2015
Phenology ( Greek φαίνω (phainō), “to show, to bring to light, make to appear” + λόγος (logos), amongst others “study, discourse, reasoning”.
Periodic plant and animal life cycle events are influenced by climate and habitat. Phenology is often the dates of first occurrence of biological events in the annual cycles.
In Metchosin, we are never really without a month when some plant is not blooming, and the Robins and crows don’t really fly south. Unless otherwise noted, all images are from our farm in Metchosin.
Fixing the front path
Today I made a path extension at the West side of the house using large rocks dug up on the property . placement of a 100kg rock with a backhoe is tricky!
